Today while on my lunchtime at work I thought I would do a little sketching of Michael Keaton from the Beetlejuice movie. This was my second attempt this week to try and get something good finished. My first attempt was very far from satisfying. And, this is nothing new to me lately because I’ve been struggling with drawing in the last couple of months. I feel like I have been trying to force myself into a different style that I’m just not comfortable with. So, today I thought I would just do a more finished pencil drawing. And I was pretty happy with it. From there I thought I would drop it into Photoshop and try to do some digital painting on it. I just wanted to try a quick painting on top of the drawing. More like a watercolor painting with a transparent layer over the drawing.

Here is some more of the paintings from this year. All of these are for sale for $20 each

Today’s post is a collection of all the Toy Story characters that I have worked on. All of them, except the Little Green Man are pencil and watercolor paint. The LGM is ink and watercolor.

I kind of missed the boat on when the first Toy Story movie came out. I didn’t really see it until the first dvd collection came out. It was an amazing set with tons of behind the scenes features. After that I was really hooked on Pixar movies. While the first movie is good, I like part 2 and 3 more. It’s one of those rare times where I enjoy the sequels more then the original.

Today’s post is of some of the various Muppet characters I’ve illustrated. Sam the Eagle and Fozzie are both oil paintings, and the others are watercolor paintings.I find doing artwork based on these great Jim Henson creations to be tons of fun! I would really like to find a reason to do more of these.
